Cloves Infused Fresh Red Grapes Sharbat

Food of Gods

This red grape sharbat is refreshing & wildly aromatic with the overnight infusion of cloves. You can make the syrup beforehand to allow the cloves to release its aroma & pour it over ice & soda water

8 Cloves
200 g Fresh Red Grapes (varietal used: Tawny, Red)
2 tbsp Honey (or any sweetener as desired)
250 ml water
Soda water
Few cubes of ice

(serves 2)

To make the grape syrup, add the sliced red grapes in a pan, add water, honey & cloves. Stirring occasionally, simmer over medium heat until the grapes are soft & the syrup begins to thicken slightly.
Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature & then refrigerate overnight or for at least an hour to allow the cloves to infuse into the syrup. Strain the syrup & discard the solids when ready to pour for the drink.
Prepare a glass with ice cubes. Half fill with soda water & add the clove infused grape syrup. The sharbat is ready in no time & looks drop-dead gorgeous.
